It Is quite likely that the macadam

This pavement la said to be the

superior to vltrlBed brick or asphalt.
The extra cost over vltrilled brick
for tills block will be two thousand
dollars. The Southern Mutual In

one thousand dollars In addition to
the regular assessment that will be
made against the property, and the
owners of the Hodgson-Shnckelflbrd
building have agreed to the propost

to hear from Is the Speer estate, and

Yesterday afternoon at four o’clock
the board of trustees of the State
College ot Agriculture was called to
order by President J. J. Conner.
A number of the board members
were present and the meeting pro
ceeded to business. President Soule
made bis report to the board and it
was discussed at length. The board
was delighted with the splendid work
done during the year by President
Soule und his assistants.
The board bold a meeting last night
and transacted a considerable amount
of business connected with the state

This body is one of the busiest in
the educational field in the state, and
under its management the state col

hereu..
Chancellor Burrow f« very strongly
In favor of establishing a two years’
course In medicine here at the Univer
sity. On this subject he said:
“So much attention is given to
health conditions and prevention of
disease at this time that I wish to call
your attention to the relation which
a State University should bear to
this question. If we had a School
of Medicine one function of the school
should be to give popular lectures and
distribute circulars giving instruction
in hygiene. If we are to have a Med
ical Course, I will endeavor to encour
age the doing of this work in hygiene
by the proper authorities. If no such
course is established it would be a
most valuable service to elect an offi
cer who might give his time to in
structing the student body In the laws
! of hygiene, and also, to giving simi
lar instruction to the i>eople of the
state.
‘‘1 am indebted to Professor Bocock
for direction in such thought and ef
fort as have been made along this
line.
”It seems, however, that the time
has come when we should establish
here a two years course in medicine.
A student can then complete his med
ical training at some place where bet
ter hospital facilities are available,
f feel quite sure the authorities at
Augusta will consent to this arrange
ment.

there; of Prof. Akerman, of tho de
partment of Forestry, and of Prof.
Jack Hart, of the Horticultural depart
ment. It Is recommended that the
election of the successors to Profes
sors Akerman and Hart be left to tho
trustees of the agricultural college.
All the departments In the Unrer-
slty are reported as having done ex
cellent work during the year.
An Increased appropriation Is asked
for the library In order that mo.*e

On account of the Importance of

II Is recommended that an Instructor

Among other Important matters dis
cussed In the report was the follow

the years.
"Your .faculty Is. If possible, more
keenly alive than ever before to the
truth that the citizen Is the prime
object which Is to be attained In our
effort at education. I am glad to call
your attention to the emphasis by
Dean Snelllng on this fundamental
propodltlon. He speaks for all of
us.
Agricultural Education.
"You will see from the report of
President Soule that your efforts to
serve the largest class of citizens, ef
forts continued with persistence
through a series of years, gives prom
ise of realization In unexcelled advan
iages to. those- citizens engaged in
agricultural pursuits. In 'the sugges
tlons Just made as to other lines of
work, I would not have you under
stand that I consider any educational
undertaking us equal 111 Importance
at this time to the demands of agri
culture. I believe, however, that the
sole question now for us in agrlcul
lure Is the question of support.
President Soule has thoroughly
ptfested his fitness and ability. It
a pleasure to bear witness to tho
clrdlal manner In which he has co
operated In every undertaking for the
University. He has my official esteem
and personal regard."
In regard to the expansion of the
work ot the University Chancellor
Barrow referred to tho gift of 525,-
000 to the University this year by the
city of Athens. Mr. Charles C. Pea
body lias been selected as architect
for the new Y. M. C. A. hall and it
la hoped tlial the construction of this
hall will he well under way by next
commencement.
The Messrs. Ilolgaon, of this city,
have created a loan fund of 8100 a
year for the next ten years to be loan
ed to worthy students. Both the
principal and Interest of this fund can
be re-loaned.
The class of 1807 lias furnished a
scholarship amounting to $300 a

best record in Physics was establish
ed by a daughter ot Dr. Charbonnier.
Dean Shelling's re|>orts covers In
detail a large |>ortlcn of the general
report of the chancellor and gives a
thorough Insight Into the workings of
Franklin College. It contains a num
ber of Important recommendations.
President Soule s report shows that
during the year there have been 185
students In the college of science and
engineering and one hundred and sev-
ty-one students in the college of agri
culture, Including the members of tho
cotton school. The establishment of
a clialr of botany Is strongly recom
mended. The necessity for training
teachers to teach agriculture Is stresa-
d. The details of the work of the
state college of agriculture are given
hnd tbe report of Dr. Soule is couclud-
«d as follows:
'The needs of the College of Agri
culture for equipment und facilities
could not be more urgent. No effort
should be sjKtred to secure the pas
sage of the hill now pending In the
legislature which will give the col
lege $50,000.00 a year for maintenance

Yesterday afternoon at four o'clock

Tbe only business transected by the

the report of Chancellor Barrow. The
chancellor J appeared before the
board and read his report which was
thorough In every respect and cono-
veyed to tho board all tho necessary
information as to the workings ot tho
University during the past year.
The report was referred to tho
proper committees of tho board and
the meeting then adjourned.
Today will be taken up with tho
committee work and the members of
tho various committees will put in
a solid day of work. It ls expected
that the session of tbe board will be
a very busy one this year, as there
are a number of Important matters to
come up for action.

Prof. J. M. Johnson finished yester

These essays are In competition for
prizes offered for tho best essays on

they were of such excellence as to
demonstrate the good work that has
ulrcady been done at this school, si*

clearly recognized that It will take
at least 55u,<h)U.OO additional to finish
and equip the new agricultural build
ing, and we presume the Board will
wish lo be reimbursed for tho money
borrowed on their personal security
It would seem necessary, therefore,
to ask for at least 5130,000.00 for tho
College of Agriculture. While this
appear large to the t*naril
and tho members of the faculty, we
trust that all may feel to unite on the
proposition, and let us establish the
college once for all on a basis com
mensurate with the needs of the slate.
The systematic and united effort ot
every person Interested In the welfare
of the University can then be dlreotol
towards securing the needed equip
ment for engineering and other de
partments. It certainly will afford
me great pleasure to assist in tills
